What To Do When The Hate Starts: The GQ Guide to Being Booed

In case you missed it, Mitt Romney was booed recently while giving a speech in front of the NAACP. It went something like this:

Romney: blah blah blah...

Crowd: [Silence]

Romney: Barack Obama did [negative thing]

Crowd: [Hateful boos]

Romney: [Smile] I’m better for black people

(And then God struck the building with lightening)

(Biden was booed yesterday at the NAACP too. Because he said he wrapping up his speech. And let’s not forget Obama "Youk" debacle.)

Anyway, sometimes, especially when you’re vying for a position of great power, people talk shit. They make ruckus. They boo. It’s nothing to lose sleep over or whatever it’s called when Eric Fehrnstrom places Mitt’s battery on the charger at night. However, the creepy smile the president hopeful held for 30 seconds is just the thing that turns yelling into tomatos, and tomatos into shoes. You really only have three options, Mitt:

The Santorum Sprint

The best and most safe of all the options. It comes from the vein of get-the-fuck-out and someone-start-the-car.

The Hulk Hogan

NBA commissioner David Stern does this the best, even better than Mr. America himself. Not for amateurs though or folks without really good security.

The Smooth Operation or also known as thePanty Dropper

Only for the suavest of the suave. If you don’t know all the lyrics to Marvin Gaye’s Distant Lover this probably isn’t for you.
